The weekend was dedicated to Khalish. No assignment, no house chore. Only Khalish and his royal happiness. I thought, "I have Monday all to myself until the 6:00 p.m. class."

Today, at 6:00 a.m., I woke up and kissed Kamal and Khalish first before attending to my responsibilities. Only to find the latter's body temperature high. There went the intention to complete the assignment due tomorrow.

Strange how calm I was despite the sudden change of schedule. After a visit to the paediatric clinic, Khalish requested for his favourite PappaRich Wholemeal Toast and Chocolate Dream. There, as I sat across him throughout lunch hour, I found the source of my calmness. His presence and his constant, "I love you, Mommy"

Followed by countless kisses. Not to forget, his hilarious nonchalance towards the fever and the tonsillitis. I love you, too, Khalish.

I am unwell. I long to use the treadmill, but, "no vigorous exercise for two days", the doctor advised. Consequently and naturally, my naughty hormones led my mind to a comfort zone. Japanese food!

☙

Kamal and I had our first date at Nippon Tei, Suria KLCC, six years ago. Sadly, we never had the opportunity to experience other Japanese restaurants since then because he was not fond of Sushi King and I was not fond of Japanese buffet. Until we moved to Bandar Baru Bangi.

There Restoran Miyagi was, its old Japanese facade seemed too serene amidst the hype of two private hospitals. Once inside, we immediately thought of Oshin. Yes, more of old Japanese charms, which we loved. We purposely took our time to savour the food. Not just because the food was delicious, but also for the thrill of being trapped in time with no sense of urgency. Even Khalish did not mind the extra hours spent at the place.

The photos featured here were from my solo visit once upon a hectic day during which I needed a good personal time. I am fond of udon and sushi combo. Now you know why it often took us hours to finish a dinner. If Kamal were there, he would order the sashimi set. Kamal, may I have another date at Miyagi soon?

Khalish in baju Melayu and its accessories, drawn by himself, inspired by his love for the apparel.

The photo above featured him in baju Melayu, complete with samping and songkok, yes. He told me that he was on the way to Ayah Zi and Ummi's house in Bunut Satut. I should learn to sew baju Melayu because he has requested to wear baju Melayu to school, to Rembau, to sleep, to everywhere.
